For Seizures "I've been on many seizure meds and Aptiom is a combo along with my Keppra and Vimpat. Side effects have been minimal like dizziness and nausea at first, but they go away. Now that I'm on 800 mg, my seizures have stopped. Only been a week, but for me that's a great sign!!"

For Seizures "It's been 5 years since I've had a seizure. I was on Aptiom before, and it made me feel wonderful, but I'm not feeling like myself now. I feel constantly nauseous and have a constant headache. However, I did find this grant that will help with the payment of Aptiom if you meet the financial requirements. Check it out online."

For Seizures "I was using 800 mg Aptiom samples for about two months, and they worked great. Pros: no seizures or auras, fewer side effects, and once-a-day tablets. Cons: way too expensive!! ($500 a month) and nausea... but only lasted a month. Wish my neurologist had told me the cost before getting off Keppra and getting my hopes up with Aptiom. Doesn’t make sense. Next, oxcarbazepine."
